Incontinent underwear

[Archives1]

Greetings. While I don't post often I do monitor this board continually and cannot begin to sum up the amount of learning that has taken place in my world.

If you read my intro you will see that I am derelict in my ability to stay dry at night. This has been happening for about 8 months now and I am dealing with it as many of you, with protection--Northshore briefs are my diaper of choice.

I do have some questions for all of you regarding a reusable underwear for day time issues, light to moderate leakage after voiding bladder. On occasion have missed making it to restroom but have mostly been able to muscle through to avoid full bladder release.

What I see out there are Salk, Everwear, Peteys, etc. Could those of you who have experience with any of these please chime in and let me know your thoughts. I am not in any way restricted to the above mentioned brands. In fact other brands would be interesting to peruse. I really just want a non-drama pair of underwear that will help with excessive leakage after using restroom that will fit and be durable.

Any thoughts??

Thanks in advance for any input and for ya;;'s willingness to share which has helped me tremendously in my own struggles with my bladder.

Chaps

Wish me luck - I have a cystoscopy tomorrow being done by my urogynecologist!

Yes. Absolutely. Good luck. I had one done last summer. Is this your first?

I've tried Salk, Confitex, and Wearever and I'm well on my way trying every disposable diaper. No product has worked perfectly. Maybe it's me? I've decided it is not me. Best thing to do is try try again.

Give the Depend Fit Flex or Real Fit disposable underwear a try. Easy to put on, just like regular briefs. Also, very comfortable to wear, and quite effective.

If you go on Depends Website, you will be able to request free samples and then can try out to see if one of these products works for you.

Good luck!

I tried the depends real fit sample last week. I found that they don't hold alot of liquid.

Is that a diaper or a pad?

Pbk123 - It's not a Diaper or a Pad, it is Disposable Underwear that they make for both men and women. It is extremely comfortable to wear and I can actually usually get 2 good sized voids with no leakage issues whatsoever. So, it's not like a super absorbent Adult Diaper which is designed to hold much more capacity.

And, I probably should have put a disclaimer on my post above that said something like this:

Disclaimer: Every person, and every situation is different, so no product is going to work for everyone. Try it out, and understand your mileage may vary! :-D

I've posted several times and I'm not sure to which one you are referring. Will you please refresh my memory? Thanks.

ps. I really liked your disclaimer

Hi Chaps54 and all. Good thread. Was wondering if there were suggestions for reusable protection for overnight?

Can't help with that. I use Northshore disp for evening. Ultimately the best cloth product is going to be pin on diaper with plastic pants. Difficult to pin ones self. I can diaper in about 30 seconds leaning against the wall.

Maybe try Snap ez snap on diapers. Easy to findicate on Internet. Would be interested in hearing from someone who has used them.

Good luck
